{"product_id":"9780916397470","title":"Bite Hard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first collection by award-winning performance artist\/poet Justin Chin. In Bite Hard, Chin explores his identity as an Asian, a gay man, an artist, and a lover. He rails against both his own life experiences and society's limitations and stereotypes with scathing humor, bare-bones honesty, and unblinking detail. Whether addressing \"what really goes on in the kitchen of Chinese restaurants\" or a series of ex-boyfriends, all named Michael, Chin displays his remarkable emotional range and voice as a poet. His raw, incantatory, stream-of-consciousness poems confront issues of race, desire, and loss with a compelling urgency that reflects his work as in performance, speaking directly to an audience. Throughout this collection, Chin demonstrates his uncanny ability to convey thought-provoking viewpoints on a variety of controversial subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manic D Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018632347888,"sku":"9780916397470","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780916397470_p0.jpg?v=1763858816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780916397470","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
